Chinese travellers are the “largest part” of the Australian tourism market as the Labor government requires incomers to undergo COVID testing, Tourism and Transport Forum CEO Margy Osmond says.

“The Chinese represented the largest part of our tourism market before COVID,” Ms

Osmond told Sky News Australia.“They’re great visitors, they spend a lot, they love Australia.”

Why are we letting the Chinese into Australia given their aggressive and threatening stance. China supports the Russian aggression in the war in Ukraine and is our enemy.

They will own Aust one day. May as well let em in.

Time to find another market

they need to control all flights testing from china

Mark Buttler will totally Fxxx this up. He's got no idea and the lies he and others told last year.

Once there is another pandemic, there will be no market. Pay attention to Miles Guo’s warning ⚠️⚠️⚠️

What a lot of HooHah over nothing. As if it would deter them anyway. These are people used to being tested daily, before going to the shops or taking public transport. The long queues at their crematoriums are not because covid is at all under control. THINK!

Money or life? Your choice

So to make it clear, the 'new variant' has been detected in US, but we are concerned with China ... isn't it a little bit discriminatory?

FFS how biased is SKY NEWS... Last week people on Sky were complaining ALBO wasn't taking action. This week he's taking action and the news is now bad.

They are also the largest part of the infiltration program and spies network china runs in this country.

Shut Chinese visitors out of our door! We don’t need them!

Don’t bring rubbish daydream article to Aussies cuz there is not larger number Chinese travelers will come Australia, Chinese economic is not better than before as you knew it 🤣🤣🤣

Why are we continuing this path of coupling our economy with China! An obviouse adversary! Time to reengage with our western allies and close neighbours!

Yes...yet another Government structured dependency we now have to eat after 10 free trade deals gutting our self sufficiency.

Albo's Labor proved itself just as dishonest and crap as the Coalition. The US says jump and Australia says ' how high'. Pathetic. CIA dirty money is unlimited. Nothing will ever change.

Ban Chinese from Australia they can't be trusted just like the Albanesse government. I wonder what Wong talked to Xi about!!! Reporting back to her ruler.

Not every flight is made up of pure Chinese. Secondary in-flight infection is not impossible. What's the plan for other nationals on the same flight, not excluding pilot,captain, and stewardess? Are we only focused on the 'Chinese' part? It's not really a covid issue?

let's be clear... the testing (probably short term) is obviously an attempt to collect data on variants BECAUSE the Chinese govt is not transparent in the release of their own medical data... seems a sensible precaution, many countries have already instigated a similar process

I'm sure this is only a temporary measure , And as we have respect on decisions made by the Chinese government I believe this respect will be retuned to our government SenatorWong it caused more death than good ,

And the alternative? Tens of thousands 'pure' covid positive travellers & new strains that may or may not make our covid jabs obsolete. You willing to take the risk to send Australia back to March 2020 so tourism industry can make money. Chinese travellers should be banned. smh
